Help deciding on a truck please. 2 Chevy's to choose.
I've got two trucks I'm looking at. I have an fj40 I use for more serious trails. I need a truck I can tow my 19ft bass boat but also occasionally hit a light trail to go to a camping spot. I'm in Upstate NY, I'd be going to like Piseco/Powley road or a few spots that have some small ruts near me.
The one truck is an awesome deal at 6k but it's longggg 1999 3500 4x4 Chevy long bed crew cab dually. I'd swap it over to single before using it, probably keeping the dually axle and put it on 33s-35s. 70k vortec 454 with 150k on the truck and trans. Also has new brakes all around including lines, as well as the fuel lines and some other miscellaneous stuff. I don't think this will have a problem with what I'm looking at other than a few approaches into certain campsites. Especially if I throw some bigger tires on to help with the clearance. It's just about 21 feet long!!!
The other truck is a 87 Suburban 2500 4x4 454, decently clean chassis, original paint peeling on the frame but not rotted anywhere by the looks of it. This has the advantage of a solid front end and being much shorter. They're looking for 4500 for this one.
Both will tow what I need without an issue, I'm mainly stuck on how good of a deal the 3500 is. How bad are these one tons off road? Links https://www.facebook.com/share/1EXcaZPoxA/ https://www.facebook.com/share/1K6drfqmcc/
